Or rather, gun check. You know how you can leave something and get a little number? Then you give the little number back and you get your stuff? Some people check in coats, some people check in bags. Hell in Sweden we check in the kids at IKEA. Here in 'Murica we check in our guns. Funny :).
As I have said before, sometimes being a teacher is fun. The girls in one of my last groups picked flowers for me on the last day :).
Since the one who makes me smile a lot lives in Stockholm, we buy our fair share of train tickets. This is our pile for the summer :). As said, there are a few....
The one who makes me smile a lot took me to a huge music concert thing in Stockholm called Summer Burst. There were so many people there!!! It was fun though :).
I learned how to pack wine today :). We found a fun one as a gift and wanted to take it to the US, but then remembered the whole "no liquids" crap. So we super wrapped them, threw them in with the check in luggage, and called it good :). I let you know how it goes, but with the following layers, even if it breaks, I am sure we are fine: freezer bag, lots of tape, saran wrap, lots of tape, freezer bag, lots of tape, bubble wrap, lots of tape, saran wrap, two thick book store bags, and a final coating of, yes you guessed it, lots of tape :).
I thought I had left behind the bad signs in China, but no way. It happens here too. Basicaly the English here means it can not be serviced, or fixed. Period. I think what they might have been going for was "Out of Service". Oops.
I swears on all that is holy that this sandwich was served like this. "Excuse me, Mr. Bates, did you misplace your knife?". It probably tried to run.
The man statue says, "Yes, these are my bits, and I spread my legs wide so no one misses them". The mermaid statue assumes the classic southern "I've got the vapors!" pose in obvious shock and possible revulsion.
The nurse at school had really fun free condoms. I like the one with the beaver especially, for obvious funny and ironical reasons :).
I put up my stuff from China in the hall and I am quite happy with how it turned out. I found fun colorful postcards that I wanted to put up and my good luck things. So now I no longer have a blank wall in my hall :). That rhymes!
I finally got curtains up in my bedroom. It is finally turning into a Wonderland of color like the rest of the house :).
They had flamingo glasses for five crowns! That's like waving free crack at an addict! Flamingos!!! Like I could resist, pfft.
I changed out my huge lamp for this much cooler orange yard sale find :). I think it fits much better in my super weird kitchen!
Ok, it is actually the three crowns of Sweden, but I swear I see face with bushy eyebrows, mustache, and some serious funky curly hair. Right? It is just even more funny cause it is on the Swedish Parliament building, hee hee :).
